4.
Offshoring potentials….. <ul><li>Offshoring can be seen in the context of either production offshoring or services offshoring. </li></ul><ul><li>After its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, the People’s Republic of China emerged as a prominent destination for production offshoring. </li></ul><ul><li>After technical progress in telecommunications improved the possibilities of trade in services, India became a country leading in this ICT domain though many parts of the world are now emerging as offshore destinations. </li></ul><ul><li>Russia, Ireland, Czechoslovakia and Poland have also surfaced as popular offshoring destinations for specific types of software expertise and so do the Philippines for their call center and customer support work. </li></ul>

Offshoring potentials …… <ul><li>Offshoring …….. </li></ul><ul><li>- the dominant location for much of the manufacturing </li></ul><ul><li>outsourcing (in the form of offshoring) by US companies </li></ul><ul><li>is China, which has made a push in recent years to also </li></ul><ul><li>become a provider of services. The Chinese central </li></ul><ul><li>government has made the “third industry”-services-a </li></ul><ul><li>priority for its national development plan in the coming </li></ul><ul><li>decades. English is taught in all levels of education </li></ul><ul><li>institutions. </li></ul>

<ul><ul><li>Offshoring </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Relocation of business processes to other countries in order to reduce labor expenses. Other times, the reasons for offshoring are seemed as strategic – to enter new markets, to tap talent currently unavailable domestically or to overcome regulations that prevent specific activities domestically. </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Advantages of offshoring: </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Lower cost of operations in foreign location </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Have proper Quality & Assurance </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Ensure quality of work </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Meet service level agreement within timeline </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Have dedicated project team </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul>Offshore Development

8.
<ul><ul><li>People: </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>It all starts with the people in your offshore team. No matter how well you define your requirements, how solid the process of your supplier look: you need to have the right person doing the right things in your projects. In order to build a strong dedicated team that will produce results on the long term for you , it is crucial to have an influence on the selection of your team members . Ideally, you co-develop a recruitment process together with your supplier, where you can hold interviews, tests or any other screening method. </li></ul></ul>Key Success Factor for Off shoring

9.
<ul><ul><li>Process: </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>There needs to be a common understanding of ‘ how we work ’. As an outsourcer, you need to have a basic structure on which all people involved can rely. In the beginning of the cooperation, the process might be written down on one page, but over time it should evolve into a well documented, proven offshore process document. A few crucial aspects that need to be described in the process are: how do we make requirements and who is responsible for which part; What online project management tool do we use and how do we use it (instruction guide); if your team is a team of programmers: what is our coding standard; how do we communicate (meetings, methods, systems); what are the steps involved from project inception until implementation. </li></ul></ul>Key Success Factor for Off shoring

10.
<ul><ul><li>Preparation: </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Take the time to prepare for the offshore cooperation. Invest time in meeting the key people on your vendor’s side, to define processes, to select the right people in your team, to prepare contracts, to define projects, to get your existing organisation ready for the new situation . Before ‘doing the work’, a solid foundation has to be created by thinking about the ‘how we work’ . Your existing people have to get used to the change and they need to get the big picture. </li></ul>Key Success Factor of Off Shoring

11.
<ul><ul><li>Profit: </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Before and during the cooperation, the bottom line should be that off shoring brings your company profit . This should not be limited to the cost-savings, the maths should take into consideration: increased flexibility, possibility to take on more projects and grow in revenues, to realize faster time to market. </li></ul></ul>Key Success Factor of Off Shoring

12.
<ul><ul><li>Performance: </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li> All the people working in the cooperation should create productive output and this needs to be measured. Regular evaluations of the team members on aspects like productivity, quality, personal skills, team skills, billed hours, can increase the insight you have about each persons output. </li></ul></ul>Key Success Factor of Off Shoring

19.
<ul><li>Other dimensions of Offshoring – </li></ul><ul><li>Nearshoring is taking the outsourced work to a nearby country ( such as Canada, in the case of USA). This is a popular model for companies that don’t want to deal with the cultural, language or time zone differences that involved in offshoring. </li></ul><ul><li>Captive Centers are offshore companies set up by organizations to provide internal services and in some cases to sell those same services to clients. Often US and European organizations setup cative centers for their outsourced work. </li></ul><ul><li>MNC are service providers with offices in many countries, which enable them to serve a global market of clients and tap the labor arbitrage available by offshoring certain types of work. </li></ul>

20.
Offshoring - future….. ? <ul><li>The current global services landscape is marked by countervailing trends. On one hand, firms are responding to intensifying cost-saving imperatives by moving operations offshore, but on the other, some politicians are using global services offshoring as an easy scapegoat for the current economics woes and high unemployment rates in the countries. </li></ul><ul><li>Although there is sign of slowdown in the global growth services but in fact, this industry is still full of potential and ready to be tapped ………. </li></ul>

Offshoring in Bangladesh… <ul><li>Bangladesh certainly has the potential :- </li></ul><ul><li>- with more than 160 million population </li></ul><ul><li>- low costs and hard working people </li></ul><ul><li>- English language is widely speak and use </li></ul><ul><li>- with the Government support to develop a </li></ul><ul><li>digital nation. </li></ul><ul><li>- with the technological advancement, ICT </li></ul><ul><li>training & education development </li></ul><ul><li>- with good strategic & marketing planning </li></ul>
